Ortaköy Hotel Deals

The Ritz-Carlton, Istanbul
The hotel is overall great! The staff is incredible! The majority of the restaurants are 5 stars the Nobu restaurant is not anything close to the kind in Miami. It’s also without a doubt one of the worst sushi restaurants I have ever been to. It really needs to be replaced.
